Royal Caribbean International returns to China in April 2024, with Asia’s largest and most innovative ship, Spectrum of the Seas, sailing from Shanghai on 4- and 5-night cruises to a mix of popular destinations including Fukuoka, Okinawa, Nagasaki, Osaka, and Tokyo (Japan). Spectrum will also offer eight sailings from Hong Kong, beginning in December 2024, to Ishigaki and Miyazaki (Japan), Taipei (Keelung) (Taiwan, China), and Nha Trang (Vietnam).
Meanwhile, the Anthem of the Seas will sail through Asia for the first time from Singapore in late 2024.
“Our return to China is an exciting milestone that could only be marked with Spectrum of the Seas,” said Bert Hernandez, Senior Vice President, International, Royal Caribbean International. “We thank the Chinese government for setting a precedent and remain committed to expanding the cruise industry in a region we have sailed from for more than a decade. This has also opened a world of opportunity to broaden vacation options in Asia, as another award-winning ship sets sail in the region with the introduction of Anthem of the Seas in Singapore.”
Specifically designed for Asian and holidaymakers of all ages, Spectrum boasts a wide variety of restaurants with regionally inspired menus and entertainment, and original productions such as Showgirls at the Royal Theater.
On the Anthem, travelers can enjoy fun-filled days with a wide variety of experiences to choose from. From lounges and bars to relax in after sunset, to live music, an English pub, shows, and thrills like the musical phenomenon We Will Rock You. Popular dining concepts are also returning to the region, including the classic American steakhouse Chops Grille, the fresh Japanese cuisine of Izumi, and the whimsical dishes designed to appeal to all the senses at Wonderland.
